Loughton Where I Grew up

St Mary's Church 1923
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

Moved to Loughton in 1970, I was 1 year old and stayed in the same house in Spareleaze Hill till I was 19. I went to St John Fisher primary school then onto Loughton School just at the end of the High Road itself, which closed in the late 1980s, early 1990s I think, as houses/apartments are now standing there. Many friends were made through the family who eventually have moved away like ourselves. My maiden name was Lunken and I just disvcovered this site by trying to look at old pictures of Loughton High Road, I wanted to see the old site where Rumbelows stood and the supermarket across the road which I really can't remember its name now! I loved my time living there and have brought my children back to see the house etc, I think the people who bought our house off us have moved now so will just have to drive past and think of happy memories :)
